Day 450 - 10/7/14

Today is the day that I have been quit for 450 days, after years of addict behavior. I did not think it was possible, I stopped before but for all the wrong reasons. Never once did I really try, yet now I can't understand why. Today I can stand here and laugh in the face of any can of Copenhagen or Skoal. I still have addict tendencies that I have to fight off, but now I know what they are and how to defeat them. I can't stand the smell of that shit anymore and all I want to do to preach to the masses about how much better life is free from the chains of big tobacco.

Granted quitting has not made me a better man, but having quit and re-experiencing life as well as paying the price for other life lessons I can say all told I am a better man. I wish my dad was here to take pride in the man I have become. Speaking of which Happy Birthday dad, I love you and miss you. It really sucks knowing that when I finally start to "get it" in life the two men that really shape me into the man I have become are not here to see it. Though I was never one that liked to get recognition for my actions it was always nice hearing from Pop about them.

The one thing I can say though is that I may not be proud of everything I have done or said, I can say that I wouldn't change anything about the life I have lived or the man I have become. I am happy to be the father I am and can't wait to watch my sons and daughter grow into their own kind of person, that is as long as I get to grow old with my wife too.

So until I get old, fatter and balder...FU Big tobacco!

>P<
Congrats on 450 days of QUIT Pinched. Awesome work. Inspiration to all of us. I'm sure your Pops is smiling down on you!

Quit with you EDD.

Nice post P. I didn't write about it here but I lost my Dad this Summer. He did know and was proud of my quit, like your Dad would have been about yours. At the end of the day all of us quitters realize the enormity of our decision and effort to quit. I have been proud to be quit with you for all 450 of your days. Keep grinding Brutha.

Day 465 - 10/22/14

Today I celebrate one year after my HOF date. This day seemed insignificant in the grand scheme of things. However, today is also the day I watch a friend and brother hit is one year of quit, that same quitter hold my original HOF Coin which was given to me by another Quitter as it was his first HOF Coin. Unfortunately that quitter is no longer present at KTC but he is and will always be a huge part of my quit none the less. Then all of that reminded me of the evening I met Jason. He and I had a great evening at a little dive bar in a rural town. We were surrounded by nicotine addicts, talking cig packs rolled up in sleeves and skoal rings in back pockets, they were fucking everywhere. Yet neither of us was in danger of caving. While we sat there drinking a couple of beers I get a text from a fellow October 2013 quitter indicating that he caved. I went through the emotions of fuck you and you are a pussy to well fuck man sucks for you. About 10 minutes later Jason handed me his HOF coin and asked me to carry ti with pride; the very next day was my very own HOF date.

Advance that night 100 days and I happened to be with Brettlees on his HOF date along with T-Cell and Baseballplayer. So in an effort to pas Jason's torch I gave Brett that very coin (after communicating my intent to Jason prior). I shared a kinship with Brett from meeting him previously, good dude and a damn good friend as are Rand and Tony.

Then I reflected deeper this morning, perhaps because seeing a serial caver return to take his lumps or because I am tired from having a demo contractor hit a live Fire Sprinkler line in an existing mall at 2:00 AM or maybe just maybe it was my minds way of counteracting all the Nic Bitch lies over a lifetime and wanted me to remember my path of quit. Regardless of the reason I am glad, I look forward to the next hurdle because I have made my mind up there is no way in hell that she is coming back into my life, the Nic Bitch can Lick My Nuts!

My quit path has seen many names come across it and although the majority of those names are still quit, others are not. It sucks for them but I am quit and even more quit because watching them lose added fuel to my quit, cavers will cave, quitters will quit. As you cannot lead a horse to water you cannot make a addict quit. It all reminds me that the old Boy Scout mottos of doing your best, doesn't always apply, sometimes it takes more than Doing Your Best.

I have made a conscious decision to quit and I am really starting to like the new me too.

Couldn't ask for a better quit role model- or bro in the daily battle
Took my freedom back October 23, 2013.

Here's an article that taught me a lot and made me hate the addiction: Nicotine Addiction 101-- newer quitters check it out-- and vets do it too, to breathe new life into your quit!

24 Quitters I have met: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, Mogul. Each one was a real honor and continues to fortify my resolve to stay QUIT!

Then I reflected deeper this morning, perhaps because seeing a serial caver return to take his lumps or because I am tired from having a demo contractor hit a live Fire Sprinkler line in an existing mall at 2:00 AM or maybe just maybe it was my minds way of counteracting all the Nic Bitch lies over a lifetime and wanted me to remember my path of quit. Regardless of the reason I am glad, I look forward to the next hurdle because I have made my mind up there is no way in hell that she is coming back into my life, the Nic Bitch can Lick My Nuts!

My quit path has seen many names come across it and although the majority of those names are still quit, others are not. It sucks for them but I am quit and even more quit because watching them lose added fuel to my quit, cavers will cave, quitters will quit. As you cannot lead a horse to water you cannot make a addict quit. It all reminds me that the old Boy Scout mottos of doing your best, doesn't always apply, sometimes it takes more than Doing Your Best.

I have made a conscious decision to quit and I am really starting to like the new me too.

>P<
This is what REAL quit looks like.
Couldn't ask for a better quit role model- or bro in the daily battle

Day 465 - 10/22/14

Today I celebrate one year after my HOF date. This day seemed insignificant in the grand scheme of things. However, today is also the day I watch a friend and brother hit is one year of quit, that same quitter hold my original HOF Coin which was given to me by another Quitter as it was his first HOF Coin. Unfortunately that quitter is no longer present at KTC but he is and will always be a huge part of my quit none the less. Then all of that reminded me of the evening I met Jason. He and I had a great evening at a little dive bar in a rural town. We were surrounded by nicotine addicts, talking cig packs rolled up in sleeves and skoal rings in back pockets, they were fucking everywhere. Yet neither of us was in danger of caving. While we sat there drinking a couple of beers I get a text from a fellow October 2013 quitter indicating that he caved. I went through the emotions of fuck you and you are a pussy to well fuck man sucks for you. About 10 minutes later Jason handed me his HOF coin and asked me to carry ti with pride; the very next day was my very own HOF date.

Advance that night 100 days and I happened to be with Brettlees on his HOF date along with T-Cell and Baseballplayer. So in an effort to pas Jason's torch I gave Brett that very coin (after communicating my intent to Jason prior). I shared a kinship with Brett from meeting him previously, good dude and a damn good friend as are Rand and Tony.

Then I reflected deeper this morning, perhaps because seeing a serial caver return to take his lumps or because I am tired from having a demo contractor hit a live Fire Sprinkler line in an existing mall at 2:00 AM or maybe just maybe it was my minds way of counteracting all the Nic Bitch lies over a lifetime and wanted me to remember my path of quit.

11/6/14 Day 480

Thought I would add some words today. So for the past 3 months I have taken a temporary move for my company and I am living in Denver, every two weeks I go home for 2-3 days. I now cherish those few hours with my beautiful kids and wife. It sucks being on the road and at times I feel like I am living two individual lives, one that has me babysitting a bunch of drama filled co-workers while having to do all my own laundry, cooking and cleaning and the other which has me being a dad and husband trying to help whittle away at a honey-do list with no time to do it in all while trying to be a good dad and attend soccer/basketball games or just having fun. Sure it sucks and yeah I would much rather be home with them every day. It sucks waking up in a bed alone, but it damn sure feels good knowing that I am still providing food on their plates, clothes on their back and a roof over their heads. What feels even better is having that much more spending money for all because I have not bought a can of weed for over a year now. I trudge along as that is what we do.

Then I watch at work while various people wither cannot be vulnerable, lack humility or are just plain assholes. One thing I have learned over the years and various teaching moments/beatings is that to truly be an individual on a team you have to be ready to be all of the above. However, now I have to learn a new method of dealing with these people as I have to deal with it. I still say though it should be easy compared to being a quitter.

I am here to quit and that is it. The rest of life will happen daily, I refuse to lose and will continue kicking ass and counting days.

>P<
